Why Bernardo Silva is prioritizing Atletico Madrid transfer over Barcelona
Bernardo Silva is set to make a decision on where he’ll play his football next season after featuring for Portugal at World Cup 2026.
Barcelona had appeared set to land the former Manchester City man but the Catalans have now reportedly cooled their interest.
Bernardo has admitted that Barcelona are an option for next season, while Atletico Madrid are also keen and are reportedly leading the chase now.
According to Jijantes, Bernardo is prioritising a move to Diego Simeone’s side “because he’ll have a starring role that he wouldn’t have right off the bat at Barcelona and that really appeals to the player.”
Silva is expected to take over from Antoine Griezmann in the Spanish capital following the Frenchman’s departure this summer.
Barcelona, meanwhile, can’t offer the Portugal international a leading role at Camp Nou which could be the decisive factor when it comes to Silva’s final decision.
Bernardo hinted at such when he spoke about his future this week, saying: “”In the end, I’m going to try to find a team where they want me, where I feel truly wanted. That’s very important, and you’ll know the day I make my decision.”
